Today is the 50th anniversary of the release (or drop, as they say in the music biz) of the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," June 1, 1967. Not sure how that would come up in a question.

"This Day in History" is not current events.

I'll allow it. The core idea behind these threads is to highlight events J! would cover. The anniversary itself is a current event, it's been covered well by the media and J! loves its Beatles. It's not like we're digging into arcane Wikipedia pages for stuff to post with this one.

While they already had the record for most consecutive sellouts by any sports team that could be verified, the Dayton Dragons (low A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) have now sold out 1,200 consecutive home games. The last non-sellout was before the team moved to Dayton from Rockford, IL.

It kind of overshadowed another big release. David Bowie released his eponymous solo album on the same day.

Anthony Weiner just pled guilty to sexting a 15 year old girl. Agrees not to appeal any sentence between 21 and 27 months.

Will he appeal an 18 month sentence claiming it's too short? And what kind of idiot trusts a 15 year old girl not to tell about something like that, especially if you are somewhat famous?

In Weiner's case the answer is simple: a HUUUUUUGGGEEE idiot, which he has proven over and over.

And I know, there are many sex addicts out there, but usually their "exploits" don't cause nearly the ruckus his have, by virtue of his (former) position and his proximity to many other high-ranking people. As they say, people in glass houses.....
